progress. And the time is not far off when the best interests of the people will demand their services not only as industrialists, but as statesmen, and now rise to nominate for kentucky's next governor, A. w. Hamilton, of the county of Montgomery and for the next two new men who shall sit together in the senate at Washington, Thomas G. Stuart, of the county of Clark, and w. J. Hendrick, of Flem- ing.
 But it is of Winchester and of Clark county that 1 started out to write. The former is to-day the livest town in "The Bluegrass" and, as 1 have said, is going to be Kansas City and a Birmingham combined. The county of Clark is one of the richest and love- Hest in all this matchless region. For years Winchester has been the great est fine stock market in Kentucky, and perhaps in the Union. Stand ing at the intersection of the Newport News and Mississippi Valley railroad, which runs from the Vir- ginia tide water to New Orleans, and of the Kentucky Central, which runs south from Cincinnati into the noun talns toward Knoxville, Winchester already enjoys facilities surpassed by few cities of twice her present popu- lation, which to-day is upward of six

 But, considered coldly, calmly, pro- saically, there is great future in store for Winchester, and if you hap pen to have money that you don't know how to invest, take my advice and put it just as close to the court house here as you can get 1t. If you wait till this time next year, every body will have got there ahead of you, and you will be glad to get lot or two away out in the country.

No other complaints are so insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from trihing or unconscious ex-
posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PEcroRAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.
